My name is Tina, and I am a book addict. I grew up in Canberra, Australia, where I still live with my husband and Brittany Spaniel, Ripley. By day I am a PhD student working in tumour immunology, and by night I am an avid reader and book blogger. I have been blogging on tumblr for about two years, but decided it was time to have a space of my own, so here I am.
On weekends I edit/co-author a horror series with a friend in the UK.
I love taking photos of books, a passion that I have only recently discovered and it has led to me becoming an obsessed book collector, particularly of beautiful classics editions.
My favourite genres are fantasy, sci-fi, horror, and Historical Fiction. My all time favourite book is Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier.
Feel free to come chat with me about books!

I was about to go HOW CAN YOU BE ALLERGIC TO PASTRY and now it makes sense. I guess you could be Allergic to the ten tons of butter that goes into the dough or something, though…

Hi! Have you done anything on the storage of books? I would love to see how you handle that. 🙂 (What kind of shelves you like, whether you keep them in one room, or spread out, etc) It’s something I find a bit of a challenge/struggle. I think I need more shelves!
